;-)) I now have a working configuration of an Asterisk 
1.4.17-BRIstuffed-0.4.0-test6 that can use both Pickup() and PickupChan().

My problem was solved after I upgraded the firmware of my SNOM phone to 
version 6.5.17. Picking up a call with a SNOM is only available with 
firmware versions 6.5.12 or higher.

So, if anyone has a problem with picking up calls in version 1.4.17 I 
could email/post my configuration, which at least works for SNOM phones.
